This massive collection spans 36 volumes covering everything known about natural sciences at the time, from quadrupeds and birds to minerals and geology. Volume 9 continues Buffon's groundbreaking examination of four-legged animals, part of a series that challenged biblical timelines and introduced secular perspectives on Earth's origins.
